Concrete is a manufactured mixture of cement and water, with aggregates of sand and stones, which hardens rapidly by chemical combination to a stonelike, water-and-fire-resisting solid of great compressive but low tensile strength. Because it can be poured into forms while liquid to produce a great variety of structural elements, it provides an economical substitute for traditional materials, and it has the advantages of continuity (absence of joints) and of fusing with other materials.
Precast Concrete
Reinforced Concrete
Prestressed Concrete
What is the difference between tiltwall construction, tilt-up panel construction and pre-cast concrete construction?
In a Tilt-up construction project, the building's walls are poured directly at the jobsite in large slabs of concrete called tilt-up panels or tiltwall panels.In a pre-cast concrete construction walls are also directly poured at the jobsite but in large slabs or bricks.
